FAQs
What is HELLY TECH® Protection?
HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that creates a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier. It's designed to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside during various weather conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For cold weather, it's recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath to provide warmth.
What does DWR treatment do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This treatment is applied to the outer fabric to make water bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and helping maintain breathability.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
Reapply DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. This typically occurs after multiple washes or significant wear. Follow the instructions on your chosen DWR product.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood on the Helly Hansen Seven J jacket is fixed but adjustable for a personalized fit.
What materials is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% polyester for both the shell and the lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or not fully waterproof.
Check if all seams are sealed properly and if the DWR treatment needs reapplication. Ensure the storm flap is correctly covering the main zipper and that cuffs and hood are tightly adjusted.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
The jacket may need cleaning to remove dirt and oils that can clog the pores of the HELLY TECH® membrane. Wash according to care instructions and ensure detergent is fully rinsed out.
Hood adjustment is not secure.
Check the drawcord and toggle system. Ensure the drawcord is threaded correctly and the toggle is functioning to hold the desired tightness.
